Chapter 160
Chapter 160 He Can Think Whatever He Wants
The majority of the customers that arrived today were introduced by Harvey and Daphne; most of them
were celebrities and celebrities’ fans. Therefore, the ce looked especially crowded despite its limited
size. Later that afternoon, they decided to sit down and take a break just when they heard a man’s
gentle voice from the door. “I’m sorry. Did Ie at the wrong time?”
Zoe naturally stood up and greeted the visitor. “No, of course not. Pleasee in…” As she was
speaking, she suddenly found the man in the wheelchair rather familiar. Wait a second! This man came
to Lux Magazine earlier. He must be Aidan’s brother, ording to Leanna.
When she snapped out of her trance, Leanna responded with a soft voice,”Mr. Pearson.”
Justin smiled and raised his hand up, telling his subordinates behind him with his gesture to present his
gift. “I heard you and your friend just opened a studio, so I came here to show my support and have a
look at the ce.” In the meantime, Zoe was staring at the gift, unsure whether she should ept the
gift or not. Nevertheless, he reacted by shooting a gaze at his men who immediately understood his
message. His men then set the items on the table, turned around, and went out the door.
At the same time, Zoe, who appeared hesitant in facing the man, said with a soft voice, “Nana, I’m
going to get myself something to eat.”
Leanna nodded in response. As soon as she left, she asked, “How can I help you, Mr. Pearson?”
Justin sighed and replied, “I’m so sorry, Leanna.”
She smiled faintly and asked, “Why are you apologizing, Mr. Pearson? You didn’t do anything wrong,
so there is no need for you to apologize to me.”
“Actually, I’m apologizing to you on my mother’s behalf.” He added, “I know what she did was
uneptable, and I don’t dare to beg for your forgiveness, but I thought I should apologize anyway, no
matter what you think.”

She pursed her lips for a while and said, “I really appreciate the care and love that you showed me
when I was still a part of the Pearson Family, Mr. Pearson, but I’m afraid I can’t just forget about
everything that happened.”
“I understand how you feel, which is why I had been struggling to meet you for the past two months, but
I can assure you that no one else in the Pearson Family will ever cause you any harm again. At the
same time, please let me know if you require anything.”
She kept her head slightly down and her face expressionless. Since the Pearson Family had never
treated her with respect, she believed they thought little of her even more now that she had outlived her
usefulness. Soon, she asked, “Anything?”
“Yes, anything.” He nodded in response.
“Tell Anna to call off her engagement with Zayn, but the Pearson Family must give the Bat Family
exactly what they have pledged, not a cent less.” Her words were met with a change of expression on
his face and she said, “If that’s too much to ask, Mr. Pearson, forget about it.”
“No, it’s not that.” Justin smiled in embarrassment. “I was just a little surprised to hear that. I didn’t think
that was what you’d ask for.”
“Zayn is my friend, and he’s helped me a lot, so I can’t allow him to marry ady he doesn’t love at all,
not to mention the fact that she is a madwoman just because of his family…” Leanna smiled mid-
sentence and said, “I’ve also thought about the rest, but I’m aware of the reason that you swung by to
visit, Mr. Pearson. You’re just trying to soften me up so that I would concede. After all, she is your
mother, and I know you’re counting on that fact to make me go easy on her.”
He nodded gently. “Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word, and I’ll keep my promise.”
“Thank you, Mr. Pearson.”
On the other hand, Zoe was leaning against the wall, wishing she could just conjure up a portal for her
to enter. After all, she sensed a cold and sinister presence right behind her as she had a bad feeling
about their studio. Damn! What’s Aidan doing here? Did he hear everything his brother and Leanna are
talking about? Oh my gosh! Don’t tell me he is going to tear down our studio. As she thought something
terrible was going to happen, he turned around and walked away before Justin came out. It was only
when she saw the man entering his car that she heaved a sigh of relief. Phew! I guess our store is
safe. Not long after Justin left, she entered the studio and was greeted by the sight of Leanna busy
tidying up the ce. She then approached Leanna and said in a soft voice, “Leanna, Aidan came by
just now.”
Leanna was shocked, but Zoe ept saying, “He came when you were asking Mr. Pearson to make Anna
call off her engagement with Zayn. So… I bet he must have misunderstood you again.”
Speechless, she turned around with a calm look on her face. “Whatever. He can think whatever he
wants.” Zoe replied with a frown, “But if Anna knows you’re behind the cancetion of the engagement
between her and Zayn, she is going toe after you. What are you going to do by then?” “That’s
even better. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to settle my score with thatdy.” In fact, she had never
feared Anna before, but because she was pregnant at the time, she had no choice and avoided Anna.
However, now that things were no longer the same as they were, she had nothing to fear anymore. Zoe
then changed the subject and went through their purchase orders. “By the way, we have a lot of
custom-made orders, so I bet we’re going to be really busy throughout the entire month. Let’s get down
to work, then!” Besides custom-made jewelry and photographs, they also sold jewelry directly. Their
handcrafts were given out as free gifts, while the others were practically sold out, well beyond their
expectations.
Leanna nodded, and after a few seconds she said, “Let’s hire two more people.”
Zoe said, “That’s what I thought as well. In any case, none of the other jewelry needs to be custom-
made, so they need to adhere to the temte when performing their job. As a result, you can work on
your designs with some peace of mind.” She then began to type a recruitment notice with her
computer.
Soon after that, more customers began showing up at their studio. When the two of them were starting
to get a little bit busy, Louis arrived. Leanna noticed him and asked, “Are you not working part-time?”
“It’s the school holiday now, and I’ve just applied for a leave from my boss.”
Zoe soon leaned closer and asked, “Did you guys realize something? Our studio appears to be
crowded with moredies now as soon as hees to the studio.”
While Leanna and Louis were both rendered speechless, Georgina was sitting in a ck car outside
the studio, watching them interact with a cial look on her face. “You said Aidan came here earlier
this afternoon, right?”
Her subordinate nodded in response. “Yes, he did. In fact, his older brother, Mr. Justin, was here too,
but on the other hand, Mr. Pearson only stood outside before he left.”
“Justin came here too?” she asked, “What were they talking to each other about?”
“I… I’m not sure. I’ll find out now.”
She rolled up the car window and replied, “No need for that. No one in the Pearson Family cares about
her now. Knowing Justin, I bet he probably came here to apologize to her.”
